ABOUT OUR PHILOSOPHY

In today's world it is becoming increasingly harder to provide nutritious
healthy meals to you or your family due to the stress that is placed
on making a living.

There has been much written about the harm of saturated fat, cholesterol,
sodium and preservatives in today's diet. Many diseases have been directly
related to the overuse of these ingredients.

Because people today are busier than ever, it is not so easy to come
up with healthy, creative and tasteful dishes that will satisfy your
family's old eating habits.

Cooking from the Heart seeks to provide a service that will free up
households with two working members, a new baby (or babies!), those
with an illness or on restricted diets, or families and individuals
who want to eat healthier but lack the time or know-how.

All our meals are prepared with fresh natural ingredients, and we are
constantly in search of new and interesting recipes. No sugar or refined
products are used, and we only use canola or olive oil, organic grains
and herbs, and organic produce, when available.

Ground turkey, which tastes and looks like hamburger, but is significantly
lower in fat and cholesterol, is used in many of the dishes to replace
red meat.

Tofu, which has been called the food of one thousand tastes because
it basically takes on the flavor of any food or seasoning that is added
to it, is creatively disguised in many of the recipes to replace eggs
or cheese in our mixed dairy selections. Tofu has no cholesterol, is
low in fat, and has recently been proven to help reduce the risks of
certain cancers, particularly in women.

We recognize that it is hard to change a family's eating habits overnight;
therefore we have included several options within the menu selections.
You may choose entrees with meat and dairy products, all vegetarian
entrees, or a combination of both. You may also choose entrees that
contain no cholesterol with our non dairy option, or entrees using a
combination of soy and dairy products. This mixed dairy option is a
good compromise for many families.

Most dishes are generous in their portions and quite economical. They
are delivered in pyrex glass dishes and are
presented with the utmost care. Most dishes
can be frozen to be used at your convenience.
